I think it is a bit too late to even be trusted.

I am happy to ignore any gop'er, none are Conservative, if someone has to tell me they are Conservative, this lets me know it is not obvious that they are Conservative and are not in fact a Conservative.
As for Chris Christie, he is a moderate on a good day, he agrees with much of what obummer is doing, he is anti-gun, pro obummer healthcare so this warm up sells me on ignoring him. Their are Conservatives out there that will serve us well, just have to get the knee jerk crowd under control.

This is so on the mark. If Romney is to have any chance of gaining the GOP nomination he needs to get a better response to the mess known as "Romneycare." He may even want to say it was a mistake.
SOURCE Mitt Romney needs a better defense for RomneyCare By Jennifer Rubin Mitt Romney is struggling to find a defense for RomneyCare, the health care legislation passed when he was governor of Massachusetts. Romney's present argument is a legalistic and not very compelling one. On Good Morning America today, Romney said that despite the fact that the Massachusetts law contains the same individual mandate that a federal judge ruled was unconstitutional in ObamaCare, RomneyCare is different because it does not run afoul of the Commerce Clause, which is a limitation on the federal government. That's an accurate statement, but utterly beside the point.

Definitely his Achilles heal - not many will be forgiving

The other is that Romney had to work with a Democratic legislature, and as Arnold found out, getting your way is often difficult (in fact, Arnold gave up and essentially became one of them). I'm sure that he will concoct some explanation for the primaries.

It's exactly because of folks like Romney that politicians have a bad name.
Romney the guy who has been pro-life or an abortion rights supporter - just depending on the electorate he was trying to win over at the moment. Romney's continuous makeovers extend to his revised book No Apology. Doing it's due diligence the Boston Phoenix notes 2 very significant changes to the 2011 paperback version of the 2010 book. In the 2010 version of the book Romney says that Obama's stimulus package "will accelerate the timing of the start of the recovery , but not as much as it could have". The new, revised, madeover edition of the same book now says simply that the stimulus was a "failure". Talk about 20/20 hindsight. The origianl version of the book soft pedals healthcare. Not touching really on Obamacare. The updated version says "Obamacare is unconstitutionaL". This year's version of Romney seems to, surprise, be totally different on this from that of last year. Just another Romney makeover. This guy has no shame.

Daisy - there is no one one candidate that currently will win and the unlike David that it will be a dark horse - they are not even registering with the GOP. The candidate will most likely be one of those three. Unless you believe the republicans will not vote and tea parry won't unite around one them (ahem - Romney), then your assessment is correct. We can dream of the ideal candidate but there are currently none that fits the bill - they are all flawed so we best find a candidate that first unites the factions within th party, then finds the common issues that bring the disenchanted centrist to them.

I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the fingers from typing:
There's no reason to fear that we don't have the perfect candidate when you realize the qualifications and performance record of the sitting President. Obama's performance record is a big chunk of what we're running against. Obama had NO record to run on when he ran; NOTHING that qualified him to be President. The GOP candidates will have to convince people that they have better ideas based on what they have done, and what Obama has done. Newt, full of personal flaws, presided over a Congress which worked with Clinton and balanced the budget. Palin, labeled as a quitter because of what she and her family endured in 2008, has a good executive record, worked against the establishment and oil executives, and has a great message. Romney is labeled as a guy who ran to the right when he felt he needed to, and had his own version of Obamacare (a state though, and with a Dem legislature). Yet, people can't deny that he has had definitive success. Pawlenty may seem milquetoast, but he has run a state, and he's saying the right things. I think that the only thing that Obama can do against these people is a constant billion-dollar media blitz of commercials that make the GOP candidates seem like Hitler. The candidates themselves are not really that bad.
